    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is a 1 to 5 ratio. Since 48 is your result after the deduction, you need to set the unknown variable to x and proportion your answer. you have 4/5ths remaining. Divide 48 by 4 to get your 1 to 5 ratio equivalent. It will be 12. Add this to the price after deduction to get the original price.

    1/5 is equal to 20% so you multiply 48 by. 20 and you get 9.6 and your take 9.6 and add it to 48. your answer will be 57.6
